I looooooove to hear that 😁 

It was very cool watching you figure out the puzzles during your live, thank you for showcasing our game!

Cool idea very well executed!

I wonder wether you should add a system to encourage player looping back to their initial word after some time (for example, setting a random goal at the start of the game : "your objective is to make a loop with between 25 and 30 entries")

We would lose the infinite aspect that is really nice, but that would add an extra layer of complexity

As an avid Shmup player, I really love the core mechanic of swapping between ships to pick up items.

I could see this idea being expanded upon and leading to a very fun game filled with tense movement decisions (what if, for example, each ship had a different weapon you had to adapt to when swapping to pick up items...)

As it stands out, the game is really fun and I had a good time discovering the abilities of each ship, I'm also impressed by the amount of content you've put in, even including a boss battle!

Once the mechanics clicked for me, I had a really fun time with the game!

I relied heavily on kiting enemies and using dash to cancel my actions' recovery 😁

That is a very impressive game, I have no idea how you managed to implement that many features and art as a solo dev, great work!

I enjoyed the gameplay, the slow down was a nice touch and the levels were well made. They didn't feel repetitive and became increasingly difficult and interesting.

I would suggest adding some air control after looping, to reposition Loop-man when doing successive loops.

As a side note, we also made a game featuring Loop-man! It is pretty cool to see the "Loop-man extended universe" come together during this game jam 😁

Thank you very much!

I'll add a basic save feature once the voting is over. We didn't prioritize it due to time constraints, but I agree it's important to allow players to take breaks in this type of game 😌

As for the UI, all credits to Basilio Moya (redh_art on Instagram) who spent a lot of time perfecting all its details (he also made the beautiful illustration you see at the start of the game!)

I was not aware you could do that with Steam! Thank you for sharing, hopefully we can reach out to more players thanks to your tip 😁

Thank you so much ☺️

Thank you so much for showcasing our game!

I unfortunately wasn't able to watch you play live but I really appreciate you taking the time and giving us more visibility.

And I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Now that I've been able to do a few playtests, I think I agree with your point. I was afraid to scare players away or lose them with confusing mechanics if I introduced them faster, but I've overdone it a little bit..

Thank you for your kind words ☺️

Even if the final level looks like mission impossible, there is indeed a solution to it!

I promise 😉
